The circadian system of Gonyaulax involves at least two pacemaking oscillators. These oscillators have been shown to be distinct at the physiological level by an examination of their rhythmic periods under different conditions, their phase response to pulses of light and darkness and their ability to compensate the rhythms for changes in temperature. It is also known that Gonyaulax can restrict synthesis of different proteins to at least three different times of day. We suggest that the two known oscillators may each control synthesis of a differently timed class of proteins.
多甲藻的昼夜节律系统至少涉及两个起搏振荡器。通过在不同条件下检查其节律周期、对光和暗脉冲的相位响应以及对温度变化的节律补偿能力，已证明这些振荡器在生理水平上是不同的。还已知多甲藻可以将不同蛋白质的合成限制在一天中至少三个不同的时间。我们认为，两个已知的振荡器可能各自控制一类在不同时间合成的蛋白质。
